Analysis of unintegrated avian RNA tumor virus double-stranded DNA intermediates
Abstract
Previous studies by Guntaka et al. have shown that the unintegrated DNA intermediates of avian RNA tumor virus replication can be readily isolated from cultures of the quail tumor line QT-6 at 1 day after infection. The intermediates include double-stranded linear and covalently closed circular DNA species. Using the analysis procedure of Southern together with previously obtained information regarding the sites of action of certain restriction endonucleases on avian sarcoma virus DNA, we have further characterized the viral DNA intermediates. Evidence is presented that, relative to the RNA genome, most of the linear species possess a direct terminal sequence redundancy equivalent to 0.5 X 10(6) +/- 0.3 X 10(6) daltons of double-stranded DNA. Some of the circular forms also possess a sequence redundancy of 0.21 X 10(6) +/- 0.03 X 10(6) daltons.
